Welcome to Decluttering Diva!
At Decluttering Diva, we believe that a clutter-free space leads to a clutter-free mind. Our mission is to help you reclaim your home, enhance your productivity, and create a sanctuary that reflects your unique style and needs.
Meet Kristina
Kristina, a loving mum of three wonderful kids, founded Decluttering Diva. With two children diagnosed with ADHD and ASD, life at home can get pretty hectic! When she isn’t decluttering homes, Kristina enjoys singing (hence the “Diva” name), DIY projects, spending time with friends, continuing her studies, op shopping, reading, and watching Netflix. Her personal experiences have equipped her with a unique understanding of the challenges of maintaining an organised space, and she’s passionate about helping others achieve the same.
Our Approach
We take a personalised approach to decluttering, recognising that every individual and home is different. Our process involves understanding your goals, assessing your space, and creating tailored strategies that work for you. With a focus on sustainability, we also offer solutions for responsibly disposing of items you no longer need.
Our Team
Our dedicated team consists of skilled organisers with diverse backgrounds and expertise. We’re not just declutterers; we’re your partners in creating a harmonious and organised environment. We pride ourselves on our compassionate and non-judgemental approach, ensuring you feel supported throughout the journey.
Join Us
Let us help you transform your space and life! Whether you need hands-on support or guidance on your decluttering journey, we’re here to help. Explore our services and discover how we can make a positive difference in your home.
